Description
Own a true piece of American history with this authentic 1915 Sears Catalog Home, beautifully preserved while offering the comfort and functionality today's buyers desire. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, first floor laundry, and a detached 2.5 car garage, this one-of-a-kind property blends historic character with everyday convenience. Built with the exceptional craftsmanship and old-growth lumber Sears homes are known for, this residence showcases original Southern Pine flooring throughout most of the first and second floors. Even more original flooring remains preserved beneath the carpet in the upstairs bedroom, den, and front living room, offering the opportunity to reveal even more of the home's timeless beauty. The spacious detached 2.5 car garage is a dream for hobbyists, car enthusiasts, or anyone needing extra storage, complete with built-in extra deep shelving integrated into the structure and convenient pedestrian entry doors at both the front and rear. Situated on an expansive 0.41-acre lot, the property offers room to spread out while maintaining practical outdoor spaces. A separate fenced area is perfect for pets, while the remainder of the yard features mature Black Walnut trees, wild black raspberry bushes, and mulberry trees, creating a picturesque setting to enjoy throughout the seasons. Located within the highly acclaimed Troy School District, Smith Middle School is visible from the backyard, while Martell Elementary is just around the corner. Backing to a quiet residential cul-de-sac, the property enjoys a peaceful neighborhood feel while remaining close to shopping, dining, parks, and everything Troy has to offer. Rarely does an authentic Sears Catalog Home become available with this combination of preserved historic details, modern conveniences, generous outdoor space, and an unbeatable location. This is a truly special opportunity to own a home with a story that has stood the test of time. This is an Estate and is being sold As-Is.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis used to be a good school from what I was told. Unfortunately my child has not had a very good experience. The education is average IMO but certain teachers try to push their own agendas on kids and the bullying is out of control.Parent Review1y ago - Smith Middle School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child attended Smith. The teachers and faculty are phenomenal. The teachers and principal do an excellent job with communicating to parents what’s going on in school and school events. My child enjoyed three years at Smith and subsequently excelled with good grades in all classes. Thank you to the teachers and staff at Smith, you are the greatest!Parent Review4y ago - Martell Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is our first year at Martell and we've had wonderful support for our child. After moving schools, she was very nervous and anxious. All of the students and staff made her feel welcomed right away. She's made great friends and is thriving academically.Parent Review3mo ago - Troy Early Childhood

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis was by far the biggest disappointment of my child’s educational career thus far. He attended in 2021-2022 for 1 year & it was a nightmare. From having no access inside the school & never seeing his classroom, there was zero parent/family engagement & his teacher was the very WORST. This is that 1 teacher our whole family will never forget! She was old, ready to retire, lacked energy & a genuine “boy hater”. I tried to contact the Director Erin many times throughout that year via phone, voicemail & email and she never responded. This was not worth the $900 a month for preschool & after this experience my son developed horrible separation anxiety & did not develop a curiosity or love of school. So sad, I wish I went into the school & demanded a class/teacher change but I was too afraid to cause problems so early in his schooling. I will never make that mistake again :( I hope Erin Keyser improved her communication skills with parents but this should be the top priority of a preschool director aside from the children. Be very careful to ask all the questions you have and stay on top of everything at this preschool. It was a horrible year for my son & so sad to think back on now that he isParent Review4mo ago
